Yeah - this version number is one I alluded to earlier when we discussed publishing on pypi. The 4.1.0-snapshot releases are things that will never be part of 4.1.x at this point. So someone 'upgrading' at this point would actually be a downgrade. That said - we have a 'pay me now or pay me later' situation - so I'd personally purge all of the -SNAPSHOT releases and only publish real releases there. If folks want cloudmonkey to move faster we can have independent releases (that someone will have to RM) --David
